BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The specified zone-base personalized information providing system and method according to a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in detail by reference of attached drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a specified zone-base personalized information providing system according to one embodiment of the invention, which comprises the mobile communication terminal (MCT) (110), the Base Station Transceiver System (BTS) (200), HLR (Home Location Register) (210), SMS server (220), SMC (SMS Message Center) (230), the Zone Management System (ZMS) (300), and the Zone Information Management Server (ZIMS) (240).

In this constitution, the mobile terminal (110) is a mobile terminal, which is implemented by cell phone or PCS, or etc, which is subscribed in mobile communication services provided by mobile communication service provider (for example, SK telecom, KTF, LG telecom), and which provides mobile communication users with character messages received from the BTS.

The BTS (200) allocated in a cell communicates with the MCT and provides mobile communication users with the mobile communication services.

The HLR (210), which stores and manages the subscriber parameters and the current location information of all the MCT (110) registered in its own area, performs the location registration according to the MIN information, which is transferred from the ZIMS (240) accompanied with the location registration request, and the Zone Identification Information (ZII).

The SMS server (220) transfers the transmission information transmitted from the ZIMS (240) and the MIN information to the SMC (230).

The SMC (230) generates the SMS messages by use of the transmission information transferred from the SMS server (220), gets the location information of the MCT from the HLR (210) according to the MIN information transferred from the SMS server (220), and, by use of the location information, transmits the SMS message to the BTS, where the MCT is located, via the MSC (Mobile Switching Center) (not illustrated).

The ZMS (300) located in a specified zone acquires the MIN information from the terminal information which is periodically transmitted from the MCT (110) entering the zone to the BTS (200), and can provide the MCT (110) with the information to be provided for the mobile communication user by transmitting the acquired MIN information and ZII to the ZIMS (240).

In addition, the ZMS (300) located in a specified zone acquires the MAC (Media Access Control) address instead of the MIN information from the terminal information which is periodically transmitted from the MCT (110) entering the zone to the BTS (200), and also can provide the MCT (110) with the information to be provided for the mobile communication user by transmitting the acquired MAC address and ZII to the ZIMS (240).

The ZMS (300) is installed in the places such as department stores, the subway, discount stores, the express bus toll-gate, the park, fast-food stores, where many anonymous people gather, and as the radius of the service area that a ZMS covers is less than about 2 to 50 m, it is possible for a plurality of ZMSs to manage a specified place in detail by splitting the specified place into several zones.

The ZIMS (240), when it receives the MIN information and the zone identification information from the ZMS (300), requests the location registration of the mobile terminal for the HLR (210) by use of the MIN information and the zone identification information, searches for the information to be transferred to the corresponding user by means of the MIN information transferred from the ZMS (300), after searching for the transmission information to be provided to the corresponding zone by means of the zone identification information transferred along with the MIN information, transfers the searched transmission information and the MIN information to the corresponding SMS server (220).

The ZIMS (240), when it receives the MAC address instead of the MIN information and the zone identification information from the ZMS (300), acquires the MIN information matched to the MAC address by searching the MIN information data base by use of the received MAC address, requests the location registration of the mobile terminal for the HLR (210) by use of the MIN information and the zone identification information, searches for the information to be transferred to the corresponding user by use of the MIN information searched from the MIN information database, and after searching for the transmission information to be provided to the corresponding zone by means of the zone identification information transferred from the ZMS (300), transfers the searched transmission information and the MIN information to the corresponding SMS server (220).

The MAC address and the MIN information has matched with each other in the MIN information database.

As previously said, when the ZIMS (240) requests the location registration for the HLR (210), it requests the location registration for the HLR (210) of the mobile communication provider, where the corresponding mobile terminal is subscribed, according to the MIN information searched from the MIN information database by use of either the MN information or the MAC address transferred from the ZMS (300). For example, after the transferred MIN information or the searched MN information is verified, if the mobile terminal is subscribed in the service for which SK telecom provides, the corresponding MN information and the location information are transferred to SK telecom's network.

The ZIMS (240) also manages the MIN information of the mobile terminal located in a specified zone according to each ZMS.

FIG. 2 illustrates the constitution of the ZMS (300) according to one embodiment in FIG. 1, which comprises an antenna (310), a high frequency (HF) processing part (320), a baseband processing part (330), a communication part (340), a control part (350), and a power source (360).

The antenna (310) receives the mobile terminal information transmitted from a mobile terminal entering a specific zone, and can receives the radio signal band of 800 MHz and 1.8 GHz. It can be possible to use just one antenna to receive both 800 MHz band used for the Cellular CDMA communication and 1.8 GHz band used for the PCS (Personal Communication Service) CDMA communication, or to use more than one antenna to separately receive the radio signal of 800 MHz band and 1.8 GHz band.

The HF processing part (320), which transforms the high frequency signal received from the antenna (310) into the intermediate frequency signal and transfers the transformed intermediate frequency signal to the baseband processing part (330), transforms the different high frequency signals received from the antenna, for example, 800 MHz band for the Cellular CDMA communication and 1.8 GHz band for the PCS (Personal Communication Service) CDMA communication, into each intermediate frequency signal.

After the baseband processing part (330) transforms the intermediate frequency signal inputted from the HF processing part (320) into the digital signal and demodulates, it acquires the MIN information/or MAC address from the demodulated data.

Under control of the control part (350), the communication part (340) transmits the MIN information/the MAC address acquired from the baseband processing part (330) and the zone identification information to the ZIMS (240).

FIG. 3 exemplarily illustrates the constitution of the HF processing part according to one embodiment in FIG. 2, which comprises the Diplexer (321), the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) (322-a/322-b), the BPF (Band Pass Filter) (323-a/323-b), the Down-Frequency Mixer (324-a/324-b), the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) (325-a/325-b), the Intermediate Frequency Amplifier (326-a/326-b), and the Intermediate Frequency signal processing part (327-a/327-b).

The Diplexer (321) splits the signals received from antennas into the high frequency signal of 800 MHz band and the high frequency signal of 1.8 GHz band, and inputs these to the LNA (322-a/322-b).

The LNA (322-a/322-b) amplify each high frequency signal inputted from the Diplexer, and inputs it to the BPF (323-a/323-b).

By selecting a needed frequency band from the signals inputted from the low noise amplifier (3220 a/322-b), the BPF (323-a/323-b) passes the needed frequency at low insertion loss and deletes the extra unnecessary frequency.

The Down-Frequency Mixer (324-a/324-b) converts the high frequency signals inputted from BPF (323-a/323-b) to the intermediate frequency signals by mixing the HF signals and the local signal inputted from the PLL (325-a/325-b).

The PLL (325-a/325-b) provides the Down-Frequency Mixer with the local signal necessary for transforming the intermediate frequency signal.

The intermediate frequency amplifier (326-a/326-b) amplifies the intermediate frequency signals inputted from the downward frequency mixer, and inputs it to the intermediate frequency signal processing part (327-a/327-b).

The intermediate frequency signal processing part (327-a/327-b) controls gains in each intermediate frequency signal from the intermediate frequency amplifier to a desired level, and input it the Baseband Processing part (330).

But, the Fire Detecting part (370), which comprises the heat detecting sensor and the smoke detecting sensor installed at appropriate locations, detects outbreaks of fire, and notifies the Control part of that accident when it senses an outbreak of fire.

The Control part (350) notifies the ZIMS (240) of the outbreak of fire by use of the signal inputted from the Fire Detecting part (370).
